ELLE's High Five: The Must-Have Pieces From Day 6 of Fashion Week

Most Read

1. The Things They Carried: The Reed Krakoff show is always the epitome of luxury. Exotics, furs, and lavish fabrics are his hallmark. This season was no exception. Personally, I think the best part of the fall collection were the handbags. Now that Stuart Vevers has taken over the reins at Coach, Krakoff can focus on his namesake's label, and he seems to be committed to further developing its DNA. The way that these girls are carrying these handbags is worth noting. Let's call it the wrap and hang. I, for one, am taking notes and am definitely going to try it sometime.

2. Prints at Proenza:Proenza Schouler showed last night to a packed house with the sweet musical stylings of a sick Missy Elliott remix blaring through the room. After a few seasons of minimalist design, the boys are back with dynamic prints and directional silhouettes. A round shoulder and a tight waist dictated most of the runway looks, but I think the most notable takeaway from this show were the flats. That's right, the flat shoe reigns supreme again. You better get to picking your go-to flat because they are everywhere for spring and next fall. Work, work, work it.

3. Neutral Territory:Michael Kors showed a fall collection that, forgive me for this reference, was 50 shades of gray. The monochromatic color palette really highlighted critical design details like intricate knit patterns, fringe and sophisticated silhouettes. Despite the standout collection, I think most of the attention was on the front row where Michael Douglas, Freida Pinto and Serena van der Woodsen (I mean, Blake Lively) were seated. I'm sad to report that the only drama came from the amazing collection. Until next season, xoxo.

4. Joie de Vivre: The Joie presentation is always one of my favorites because I love the team and they always have food. It is at a critical time in the afternoon where editors are delirious with hunger. This season, Joie took the collection to the Parisian streets. The girls were decked out with appropriate French-girl accents, and I don't mean how they were speaking. I mean white socks with sandals, coats draped over the shoulders and a slouchy attitude that is quintessentially cool. Plus, champagne and macaroons don't make for a bad afternoon. Viva la France!

5. Sock It to Me:The Jeremy Scott show is the one show you absolutely must attend if you want to see anyone good in a fashion show audience. His hardcore fans come decked to the nines and that means prints, colors and a lot of crazy. After we had all squeezed into our seats, a security team rushed in Jared Leto who apologized for making everyone wait. (Um, Forgiven! Even though I have no attraction to Jared Leto, I assume that a lot of other people do and thus would want him to be forgiven especially since he asked.) Then, the best thing happened: Jeremy Scott sent a giant sock dress down the runway. Literally, a dress that looked like a tube sock! The look was finished off with a sock-pump hybrid to boot, pun intended! I imagine the logistics of wearing this look in public would be complicated but that doesn't mean it doesn't look fabulous on the runway.
